By JOSHUA FREED Associated Press Those airport scanners with their all-too revealing body images will soon be going away. The Transportation Security Administration says the scanners that used a low-dose X-ray will be gone by June because the company that makes them can’t fix the privacy issues. The other airport body scanners, which produce a generic outline instead of a naked image, are staying. The government rapidly stepped up its use of body scanners after a man snuck explosives onto a flight bound for Detroit on Christmas day in 2009. At first, both types of scanners showed travelers naked. The…

All-University Sing, one of Baylor’s long held traditions, is back again for another season of hair-whipping, hand-clapping, and hip swinging performance.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Baylor came into Allen Fieldhouse planning to score in the lane. Instead, Kansas buckled down in the paint, blocked 13 shots and held the Bears to their worst offensive night of the season in a 61-44 loss to the fourth-ranked Jayhawks on Monday. “I think we weren’t going strong the basket like we should have, like we usually do,” said A.J. Walton, who had seven points and four turnovers in 17 minutes. Baylor was outscored 38-13 in the lane and shot just 23 percent for the game. Pierre Jackson, who entered the game leading the Big…

With 5:11 remaining in the final game at Floyd Casey Stadium and a seven-point Baylor lead, sophomore Lache Seastrunk broke through the line of scrimmage at the Baylor 24-yard line and saw the light of the Promised Land.
Halfway to the end zone, Seastrunk caught a cramp in his left hamstring. At this point, he had two options: he could fall down in pain or believe that he could finish and take the rock to the house.
The spread offense is commonly associated with accurate quarterbacks and athletic wide receivers, but this year’s Baylor football team is showing that great running backs can thrive in a five-wide set.
When he was coming out of Midway High School in nearby Hewitt, Baylor junior nickel back Ahmad Dixon could have chosen to go to pretty much any school in the nation. He was ranked as the No. 15 national recruit by ESPNU 150 and had scholarship offers from Alabama, Texas, USC and pretty much everywhere else in between. Instead of bolting for a glamorous, prestigious program, Dixon decided to stay home and head to Baylor, who was just coming off of a 4-8 season.

Baylor football can finally say it beat the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 41-34.
“Last year, we had a great season, outstanding season, Heisman trophy winner and all that kind of stuff, but I wouldn’t trade this season for the world,” sophomore nickel back Ahmad Dixon said. “These seniors and these other guys that are here with me, we have grown tremendously, speaking for myself not just as a football player but as a young man. These guys, in our down times have taught me so much. Looking to these guys when I needed them, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

Lacking awareness of counseling benefits is causing some international students to look elsewhere for advice in times of high stress.
During the peak of counseling sessions, faculty members are concerned about the additional pressure international students face in adapting to a new environment alone.
While counseling services may be an outlet of support via the Baylor Counseling Center in the McLain Student Life Center, currently there is no program specifically for international students, nor is there a specific counselor designated to receive them, according to Dr. Jim Marsh, Baylor counseling services director.
This semester, Baylor counseling services faced a high demand for counseling with a short-staffed office.
With seven full-time counselors and one full-time psychiatrist, counseling services does not meet the minimum counselor to student ratio according to the International Association of Counseling Services’ standard.
The association encourages each institution, depending on the size, to maintain one full-time equivalent professional staff member to every 1,500 students. Baylor enrolled 15,364 students this semester, so the standard is 10 full-time counselors. Baylor counseling services is short by two.
